Build Green

Building green starts with expert advice and support delivered by an Energy Advisor.

Whether you’re renovating or building new, an Energy Advisor will explain the ins and outs of the Township’s rebate program, bring you up to speed on other industry incentives, assist with paperwork, provide technical assistance, answer questions about products, and assist with the financial analysis of various energy efficient upgrade options.

By participating in the Township’s program, we will help cover the cost of bringing an Energy Advisor on board to evaluate your home.

Your Energy Advisor will also provide you with EnerGuide home evaluation report and EnerGuide rating , which will help you better understand the opportunities to improve your home's efficiency by examining its air leakage, insulation, space and hot water heating, and ventilation.

When you’re finished, you will be able to make more informed decisions about the best upgrade opportunities for your home, how to prioritize them and which will save you the most on energy costs. An evaluation from an Energy Advisor is the first step in smart new construction and home renovations.

We’ll help you get started.

Get Started

Submit your building permit application and enrol in the Green Building Rebate Program. At the time of your permit application, complete a referral form in-person at the Township’s Civic Facility.

Program Details

A subsidized EnerGuide Home Evaluation. An Energy Advisor will assist you to identify options to improve the energy efficiency of your project and provide your home with an EnerGuide rating.

A financial rebate on your Building Permit. By successfully building or renovating an energy efficient home, you may be eligible for a building permit rebate from the Township, as well as other industry incentives.

Get Recognized

More buyers are looking for the EnerGuide rating. In 2014, the Township commissioned Ipsos Reid to conduct a local public opinion survey regarding energy efficient homes. The survey sample includes only those who are likely to consider buying a home in the Fraser Valley in the next 5 years. Here are some key takeaways from the survey:

Nine-in-ten homebuyers say energy efficiency is an important housing feature when deciding whether to purchase a particular home.

Eight-in-ten homebuyers are interested in seeing an EnerGuide rating on a home they are considering purchasing.

Overall, 77% of homebuyers say they would be more likely to purchase a home knowing it has been rated as energy efficient.

62% of homebuyers indicated they would pay more for an energy efficient home.
